Changes happen when u put up a custom rom and hence dive into the world of tweaks and mods.. ;)

Well if you are able to connect from other devices then it could be something in your tab interfering with wifi.

Does your tab connects to wifi networks other than this one.?

Yeah you can give them a try and report back here.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:
Ok. Can you give me a good custom rom? I want to get rid of all the junk apps I have rightt now.

I use my tab mostly for facebook, youtube, email and other websites.

And can I install those roms to with the rom manager?

As for wifi normally I could connect b to all sorts if wifi networks. Haven't done that the last few days. Will try that out yes. Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Well i am using Mokee Open Source 4.4.2 and quite simply the best in my opinion.

It features OTA updates too. :)

Otherwise there is SlimKat which is just like Mokee.

Or Omni Rom...

They can be flashed via recovery which you should have had flashed via odin while rooting.

Which recovery are u on btw.?

As for bloatware, you can uninstall them now that u are rooted and can continue your stock rom if u like.

Just get Root Uninstaller or any similar app and you can uninstall any bloat u feel..just remove cautiously so as to not remove any system app.

Hmm try and report back here. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:
How can i see if an app is a system app?

Thanks a lot! Your answers are really helpful.

I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.3 installed. How can I see if an app is a system app?

Johanna
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Just glad to share whatever i know, thats what we all do on xda. :)

Well just a caution that update to latest Philz Touch Recovery that u can find or latest TWRP Recovery as those are the ones which can flash a KitKat Custom rom should u ever wanna try.

And which ever app is not listed under downloaded in Settings>Apps or settings>manage apps is a system app.

But you should just remove pre loaded games or any other pre loaded third party apps such as Dropbox or Drive if you dont use them.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:
System apps

Ok thanks! I will give it a go. Still not sure about a 4.4.2 rom. The Mokee rom has the best instructions. I probably will try it. I always like to try out something new.:laugh:

But maybe first I will see if I can solve the wifi issue.

Johanna
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Well flash a 4.4.2 custom rom like Mokee and i assure you will never go back unless u need warranty. :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
You can use app SD Maid to uninstall any app. System App means they've been installed as part of the OS. Many of them can be removed safely. Most of bloat apps are define as system app, yet can be removed without problem.

Now when you have root, you can create your first nandroid backup, ghost image of whole OS that can be restored if anything goes so wrong that you can't use the OS anymore.

If you're happy with your system, keep it. I also prefer custom ROMs. I'm running SlimBean and Omni 4.4.2 unofficial.

Mind that you can't flash any KK rom with your old CWM recovery version, you need to update your recovery at least to CWM 6.0.4.4 for KK, or to TWRP 2.6.3.x
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:
Nandroid backup

Thanks! That Nandroid backup, where do I find that?

Johanna
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
In the recovery there would be backup and restore.

So go to there and press backup.

U need to have atleast 2.5 GB of space.

This is important as sometimes if u mess some things up and your tablet wont boot into your rom then this backup will come into help as u can always go into Recovery no matter what. :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] njstein:
Go into your recovery. There will be an option that reads "backup and restore". Inside there you'll see quite a few options. Look for "backup to sdcard1" or "backup to external sdcard". Something along those lines. Click it and let it do its thing!

ALWAYS have a functional nandroid in your back pocket. They are essential in the mod game!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] johanna52:

Can anyone tell me if ART would be better on 4.4.2 ..?

Confused between both of them.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ryan the Skitzo:
ART seems to extend battery life to a degree for me and certain apps load noticeably faster. BUT, some things aren't compatible like Xposed Framework and certain apps.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Your Battery life extended roughly by how much percent..?

I use Xposed so thats a no for me but still..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Ryan the Skitzo:
I'd say about another straight hour of running Dead Effect on max settings.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
Thats pretty good.

And isnt ART buggy as i read somewhere.?

Another question people, is it possible to theme the TWRP 2.7.0.1 by Android-Andi for our P31XX ..?

It has some bugs. mainly with apps as some just don't work.

Memory problems with CM on GT-P3110

Only recently I bought my Tablet so I'm not too experienced with it yet. I flashed a CWM through Heimdall and followed CM instructions but the CWM was not for Kitkat so I got stuck with booting cm-11-20140323-NIGHTLY-p3110 and put temporary the cm-10.1.3-p3110 on it. That flashed fine but when I installed the right CWM and Kitkat + gapps all was smooth BUT my dear 8Gb memory is reduced now until 4,59Gb.

Not only that, I cannot move my apps to external SD! So all works fine but with these memory problems I can't get any further.

What did I do wrong and how can I get my missing 3,4Gb back?

Can I work with app2sd or similar? Anybody good experiences?

I also noticed that It's like I cannot change foldernames even though I'm root in sd0

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lokesh.3440:
Are you cure you had complete 8 gb internal storage because actual formatted capacity is always less likewise i have a P3100 with 16 GB advertised but i only get 11.87 GB...left-over part is sucked by Android itself. No CM based ROM has A2SD feature by default only Android 4.2.2 stock ROM has native A2SD feature. If you still wanna use A2SD feature, you can stick with Cronmod Script but you will have to partition your Sd card into Ext3.. All detailed instructions are available here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879806......

For changing foldernames(if they are not System folders), although you can rename them directly but still if you are running into issues,try renaming them using Root explorer(google it you will easily get it).

:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] raamishmk:
After flashing any custom rom..your space left would be 4.59 GB if u have an 8gb model.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] R2D2S2:
Memory mystery solved

Ok, thanks. Good to know I didn't do anything wrong but could I repartition the Tab2 P-3110 or is that asking for trouble. I never checked how the memory was on stock ROM as the first thing I did after buying was pull that one off.., :D

Link2SD seems to work a bit. Not for moving to SD but you can create links to the application file and to the dalvik-cache file.

When linking a few apps like this you will see with for example with "partition table" your /data/sdext2, (in my case ext2), getting filled up.

If anybody has a real good solution I would be very pleased to know and thanks for the info so far.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
I will only recommend you to try yourself as many ROMs as possible and you will know which one suits your needs the best. That is the idea of XDA, we have a big choice of ROMs here (great ROMs, BTW) and we respect the effort and time of each single developer here that had to be invested to make the ROM working. It would not be nice to recommend just one, it is also very against XDA rules (forbidden question).

BTW, you don't need even root to flash a custom ROM, custom recovery is enough.

Happy flashing :D
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] harsh.deep:
lol...I just flashed a custom recovery..Anyhow thats cool..BTW i have like 3 android devices at home rooted..so i know abot jumping roms and trying new things..But since you mustave tried some u cud give a personal feedback on what rom seems good to you..SO any sugessions on what to flash?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=4716491]harsh.deep[/MENTION] LOL :D congratulations! Yes, it makes huge fun ;)

Just one thing: your last stock ROM was a JB one right? It is important, as then your bootloader is up to date.

Maybe you can start with SlimBean 4.3 as an example of a small, fast, really modified and highly adjustable custom ROM without any bloat. The Real Dark Slim mode is also something totally different than you know from stock.

Then try Omni, Paranoid Android, Carbon ROM, Dirty Unicorns etc etc. After 4.3 roms, try KitKat. You will see what suits you best. For KitKat you need TWRP 2.6.0.1 or higher, or any CWM based recovery 6.0.4.5 or higher.

Hi, i already asked for help at general but i was redirected.

problem is that, i'm trying to root and install philZ custom recovery but it not working at me,

it goes to original android recovery system (3e), Now odinin mode says : Product name: gt-P5110, custom binary download: YES(4counts) Current binary: custom.

what i do wrong?

original question and answers:

____________________________________________________

Hi!

I tried root and install cmw to my samsung tab 2 10.1 P5110 but the problem is this:

when you try go to custom recovery it goes Android system recovery 3e,

i allready tried philz_touch 6.25.99 np5110 file and some others p5110 custom recoveries

AND still it goes to original recovery...

In opdinmode mode it says this: ODIN MODE,Product name gt-p5110,custom binary download: YES(3counts ),Current binary: custom

and i used Odin v1.85

what i should to try?

____________________________________________________

_________________________________________________

and last question: i installed TAR.MD5 file but do you mean i have find somewhere .TAR file?(or maybe convert?)

this all is new to me so dont judge badly.

Regards Herraorava
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Mate, nobody will judge badly about you here, this is novice-friendly help thread ;)

The format of the file for Odin was correct (tar.md5).

I have now few questions, just checking what you exactly did:

1* did you run Odin as administrator?

2* did you choose PhilZ for P5110 (not P5100!) under "PDA"

3* now ran your Tab into download mode and connected with USB cable

4* waited until Odin displays in status bar and ID:COM port just above has displayed the number and whole little tab was in different color (probably yellow on Odin 1.85)?

5* And after flash, did Odin display successful in the status bar and upper left Tab displayed "PASS"?

After that the recovery should be flashed and when you turn off the Tab and keep power button and volume down (closer one to "power") buttons pressed until Samsung splash screen apperas for the second time, then you should release "power" but keep pressed "volume" button until PhilZ recovery appears.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] herraorava:
yes, i did extractly same thing and not going to philZ... it comes to that android logo and then androidlogo with error and then to original.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Can you please post few screenshots? Exactly the file name you're flashing, Odin UI after flashing and settings/about tablet (on the bottom). Is USB debugging enabled under "developer options"?

Please also copy and post here Odin's text from the status bar.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] herraorava:
file name are GT-P5110_PhilZ-Touch-Recovery_6.25.0.tar.md5 and i did try name changed to recovery.tar.md5

cant put any links or other thing because i am new user and i got that limit. google "android system recovery no command" picture and thats it...

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
Sounds really good to me.

And when you boot into the recovery, stock recovery appears?

If so, give a try to the TWRP from the same thread. Ver.2.6.3.4 worked always really well for me. Try this one or any later version.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] herraorava:

didn't work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tetakpatak:
I really fail to understand why it doesn't work. Did you try to uncheck auto-reboot in Odin and after flashing to manually reboot recovery?

Disconnect the cable, turn off the Tab by pressing the power button around 5 sec, then press power&vol buttons to boot directly to the recovery.

Noob here, just trying to get my thread count up, so I can ask some questions in the Development area. I own both a Galaxy Tab 2 (P5113), and Asus TF300T. I've become a "Rom Junkie" after finding these forums! ;)

Currently running SenSonic on the Galaxy, and Cyanogenmod on the Asus.......Looking to upgrade the Galaxy to SenSonic SOKP, but not knowledgable enough to change the scripts to make it work on the P5113. Hoepfully I'm not out of line, but have to say that of all the Roms I've flashed on these two devices, Cyanogenmod is my least favorite....compared to others it seem laggy and somewhat buggy.
